The most professional scuba diving team I've ever experienced. My guide, Nat, made sure I was well taken care of from start to finish, and there was plenty of delicious food and snacks throughout the day. Highly recommended!

I had a great time, this was the perfect way to get back into diving. Eak was such a good instructor, I hope I get to dive with him again during my mext booking. I enjoyed the refresher class he did before we departed. these dives are fun and beautiful. The entire staff did a great job briefing and creating a fun and positive environment for everyone. I came solo and I will absolutely be booking again in a few days. these dives left me pretty tired. I'm so.happy I booked the service to give me a life back to my hotel.

Eak was awesome! He made me feel super comfortable getting back into diving after five years. He outlined each dive, went over dive signals, the equipment and some underwater drills. The dives were calm and there was stuff to see fish and eels. On the boat there was heaps of food, plenty of water and coke, and comfortable seats for the journey to the dive sites. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a dive refresher.

This was an excellent trip. My guide thought it wouldn't live up to my Phi Phi dives the day before, but it really did. I like muck diving and just taking in the underwater beauty, and there were lots of fishes, nudis, some eels, shrimp and more. Macro photographers would love it. Also a couple of easy wrecks even for beginners. It doesn't always have to be about chasing big things, that's exhausting. Such a relaxing day, without a 3 hour ride out and 3 hour drive back.

What an amazing experience. For first time scuba divers we were excited but also a bit scared however that turned around very fast. Our Guide Nim showed us the ropes and had us feeling very comfortable and keen to get in and under the water. We went to a max depth of 12m and were under for over 40 minutes in the first dive. Lunch after first dive, a break and then a second dive we were even more excited to go on. Our guide Nim also took our photos/videos which turned out fantastic. Nim is a great kind guide who taught us well but also kept a close eye on us, our equipment and the conditions/en

Frequently Asked Questions

VGA VACATION sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover transportation surcharge: for bangtao, surin beach, laguna, phuket old town, koh kaew/ boat lagoon, sapam & laem hin, koh siray., requires private roundtrip transfer 1800thb per vehicle for mai khao, layan, airport, nai yang, nai thorn, paklok, thalang, panwa, and a meet up point closest to you can be arranged.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.

The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
